These new "enhancements" are really downgrading 1K status, especially if you fly out of SFO/LAX-JFK because these PS flights can only be upgraded via CR1 or SWU. Will they downgrade PS flights so UDU applies instead?
The dAArk site beckons. Damn loyalty when it's a one way street. When the W fare differential for transpac is 40-50% of the ticket price for the opportunity to play upgrade roulette, Starnet blocking and a myriad of other issues, it's time to bail.
